Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Interesting Kiwi but I believe the true spelling is whisky?Hi CP! I think the spelling depends on the country in which the whiskey is produced. I have really gotten used to spelling it as whiskey, as I got acquainted with American brands (such as Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam) first (damn yanks! ), before getting acquainted with Scotch. Interestingly, it is spelled as whiskey even in Ireland! More about this quirky little aspect, here: http://www.whiskyforeveryone.com/whisky_basics/whisky_or_whiskey.html Edited October 5, 2015 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If you have the chance, check out this place, it's very good with a nice bottle as well: http://www.keltictours.ca/resources/Glenora Distillery located on the Ceilidh Trail.jpg WOW! Gosh, Charles! That place looks so beautiful to say the least! So serene and peaceful! Many many many thanks for the recommendation! I am adding this distillery to my travel bucket list!

Strider Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Interesting Kiwi but I believe the true spelling is whisky?Yes, it is for that particular bottle Kiwi posted. Scotch and Canadian are whiskys. In America and Ireland they are called whiskeys. In short, if the place of origin has an 'e' then it is 'whiskey'.

Charles J.

I didn't know that, Scotch is a very fussy hobby thing in fact, there have been legal cases issued over the word "Scotch" which I find amusing - I mean just drink the damn thing instead of fighting over the word Scotch.

LedZeppfan77 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My best bet of the week is your Raiders Strider. Its the AFC West Theory in our face. Its like 90 percent over the last 30 years. An AFC west team getting pts at home vs another AFC west team, take the team at home with the points. I say the Raiders win outright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a strange taste I couldn't get used to. The meals you posted look mighty tasty. Is the Cousins Maine Lobster a food truck? Reminds me of something I saw on Shark Tank that looked really good.

Reminds me of something I saw on Shark Tank that looked really good.Cousins Maine Lobster started as a food truck in 2011 by these cousins from Maine. After winning Best Food Truck in L.A. two years in a row, they opened a brick-and-mortar joint on Santa Monica Blvd. in WeHo. I want to try the Lobster Martini next time.
